Satellite School will officially change its name to Keystone School after the October half-term break 🛰🎊

While some members of our community may have already heard whispers of this change, we want to reassure everyone that the school’s core values remain exactly the same. This fresh identity marks a positive new chapter as the school continues to provide excellent support and education for its students.

The decision to adopt the name Keystone reflects the school’s continuing evolution and ambition, while retaining its unwavering commitment to supporting children and young people to thrive.

The name was chosen to represent strength, support and the vital role the school plays in helping learners achieve success and overcome barriers to learning.

Further details regarding new uniforms, signage, and branding updates will be shared with parents and carers in the coming weeks 💫
